to three, and ends by being carried to a
lunatic asylum by mistake. The play Is

man and French Legations.
Detectives stationed in front OF the
French Minister residence on X street,
between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets, and the German Minister'S, No.
73i Fifteenth street, attracted the at.
tenlion of Critic reporter this morn
ing, who at once instituted an investi.
tion. 1t was ascertained that word had
been received at Headquarters request
ing detail of officers to look after a
crank who had threatened the lives of
both Ministers because of some fancied
injury at their hands. Further, that
the person who made the threats was
medium sized, well dressed young fel-
low, with close cut side whiskers and
moustache, who has been regular In his
attendance at receptions this winter
where the two Ministers were likely to
he.
No attention was paid to him until
the other day, when he approached
the German Minister at the latter S
residence and made several threaten
ing gestures and demanded pay for
some photographs which he declared
were worth upward oil million oil
dollars. Servants of the Minister
elected the intruder, but he has per-
sisted in haunting the streets in the
vicinity until his presence has become
so disagreeable TO the Minister that
police protection has been invoked.
The fellow has the appearance of a
gentleman and good address, and his
demeanor in social circles has always
been that of person perfectly at home
amid his surroundings. Nobody
seemed TO know anything about him,
however, beyond the description given
above, and as he has given different
name at each house where he has been
guest IL Is difficult to locate him. 1t
is believed by the p lice that 1t is the
same II an thut was sent out Of the city
last summer for making threats
against several foreign Ministers, and
If caught this lime he will be safely
cared for.
